  • This paper aims to establish a comparison between the catalogue of the Greek Periplographic Genre currently established (of which we have enough data to fix its total number, with a criteria of maximum, in 37 works) and its image in antiquity, specifically the one by our oldest late predecessor (ca. 400): the cataloguer Marcian of Heraclea. An exhaustive analysis of the data allows us to assess the discrepancies between the two lists and invites us to justify, as far as possible, the reasons that may have prompted Marcian to establish such a diverse result. Those reasons are easier to understand if his true selective criteria are rigorously interpreted, in accordance with the keys of the era in which he lived.
